Study on the large-displacement behaviour of a spiral spring with variations of cross-section, orthotropy and prestress

<p>This work is dedicated to the study of the large-displacement behaviour of a spiral spring. Parameters that influence the local torsion stiffness of the beam that constitutes the spiral are varied and their effect is studied. Cross-sectional shape, orthotropic material orientation and pr...
